Uncle Sam Figuring on Getting Even with
the N. p. and q. r.


the N. p. and q. T.
WASHINGTON, January 22.-The Secretary
OF the Treasury to-day sent q communities
ton to the Speaker of the louise OF Repre-.
sentatives, in answer to the House resOlu-
ton OF January 90, asking what sums Of
money were owing from bond.subsidized
Pacific Railroad Companies to the United
States on the first day OF January, 1887;
sums which are due, principal and interest,
under existing laws, severally and collec.
lively, from said companies; and what will
be the result to the Treasury and effect
upon these debts if House bill No. 8,21S
should become a law, and it's provisions be
complied with.
The Secretary states that the amount
due from the several Pacific Railroad CON-
States to January l, 1887, or subsidy
bonds issued to said companies was $7O,-
S54 1925, of which there had been repaid
by the companies at that date the sum of
$21 $50. IA; leaving due on count of in
terest the sum OF $49, 800, ISL. There will
be due on the same account at maturity of
subsidy bonds, September IL, 1891, tho
further sum nf S43,4O6,191, making a
total Of 500, 7O9, Jog due and to become
due on account of interest. There is also
to become due. on account of principal of
these bonds, at maturity s64, 623, 512,
making a total indebtedness dine and to be-
come due, OF $157 1882, G15.
In esponse to the inquiry "what will be
the result to the Treasury and effect upon
these debts if House Bill 1913 should be.
come a law and it's provisions compiled
WITH the Secretary states that the pres.
ent worth OF the indebtedness OF the sever
al companies on October l, 1886, ascer-
tanned as prescribed in the bill. is $685.
463,3 The constant semi-annual pay
ments required to cancel the indebtedness
mentioned: principal and interest, in sepa-
rate years, at a rate OF 3 per cent. per an

bill, to.wit, isl. S54, 3O4, is less than the
correctly computed semi-annual payment

fifth of one per cent: and this constant
semi-annual payment is sufficient,
il reinvested sem : annually, to
pay at the rate OF 1892 per cent. per
annum on said present worth, or, at that
rate. to extinguish the principal and interest
ofthe debt in seventy years. In view OF GER
tain provisions OF the act OF May Z, 1878.
commonly known as the Thur.uan Law,
establishing a sinking fund for the Union
and Central Pacific Railroad companies, it
may be proper to consider whether the
sinking fund now held in trust by the
United States should be treated as an
offset in determining the net indebtedness
due the Government from these companies. |
1t should be mentioned, however, that one |
of the conditions of the bill is that its bro. |
visions shall be accepted by the companies
interested.

A Virginia

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, January 22.-About
a week ago reports were received from coun-
ties in the southern part OF the
state, saying that loud detonations
had been heard and violent tre-
mors OF the earth felt along the
valley OF Big Ugly Run, q tributary OF the
Guyandotte river. A letter has just been
received from Lincoln County which clears
the mystery. The letter says that a few
days ago, while lumbermen we're floating
logs down Big Ugly Creek, they came to an
obstruction which did not exist when they
passed up to cut the timber. The bed of
the stream was completely filled with huge
fragments Of stone while sim
liar fragments were strewn among
the timber at the foot of the
mountain, down the side OF which they had
evidently been rolled, showed a huge crater
like scar, and the observers could see a
large column of steam arising from it. The
lumbermen were afraid to venture up, but
reported the discovery at Hamlin, the
county seat. The whole county is excited
over the matter, and it is regarded as .he
source Of the tremors and explosions.

POLITICS.

Tho Parties Nominate Candidates and
Issue Manifestoes.
BERLIN, January 23.-The lower house
Of the Landtag will not present an address
to Emperor William. The Conservatives
were unanimously in favor OF presenting
him with the address but the National
Liberals refused to cooperate. A rumor
is current that the manifesto which it is
said the Emperor will issue will take the
form of a letter eulogising Prince Bismarck.
Delegates from the three national parties
met yesterday for the purpose OF organic
ing q central electoral committee. Herr
Montelon, Conservative, Herr Killmann,
National Liberal, and Herr Sedlits, German
Liberal, were elected presidents The com
mittee unanimously chose as the candi-
for the first district OF Berlin, Won Moltke
for the second, Herr Miguel for the third,
Herr Boediker for the fourth, Herr
Gte%sf for r0f the me s;zt na.n' One ae' report port
names Herr Bennington the National Liberal
leader, as the candidate for First District.
Herr Miguel offers to resign the Office of
Burgomaster Of Frankfort, which he now
holds, if he is elected. Herr Stoecker will
seek to represent q constituency outside of
Berlin in order to avoid endangering the
compromise between moderate parties.
All the papers publish supplements con-
tanning the speeches in the Reichstag made
by Bismarck. A manifesto issued by the
Free Conservatives asserts plainly that a
victory for the opposition will entail war.
1t says if the Septennate terms be accepted,
the development OF the nation will be peace
full and happy.
The Guelph party in Hanover publish a
manifesto declaring that the parties called
National in a~gitating an immoderate in
crease Of the army, keep the country in per-
petual fear OF war, and PARALLELS all con-
fidence in the future. The manifesto says:
1T is not upon great armies, but upon
those who, preserving the faith of their
fathers, defend faithfully and fearlessly the
rights of the people that we must rely for a
basis upon which to place the well being OF
the nation"
The Socialists met and decided to run a
candidate wherever there was q chance to
GUST a Conservative. Where no Socialist
is nominated the party will support the
Liberal candidate. AS a prelude to their
m manifesto, the Socialists have scattered

Justice.

ST.. LOUIS, January 22.-It was reported
from Warren, Ark, yesterday, that the two
mon, Hamilton and Ludberry. murderers Of
the Harris brothers in Bradley County,
were released from jail at Warren Thurs
day night by a party OF masked men. A
sheriff's posse started in pursuit as soon as
the facts became known, and it was ex-
pected that a conflict between them and
the murderers' liberators would occur. A
special to the Post-Dispatch states that
the intention of the mob was not to free
the criminals, but to lynch them.
The sheriff's party returned from their
search this morning, and reported that the
murderers were carried to the bank OF the
Arkansas River, where they were hanged.
As soon as death ensued the bodies were
cut down and cast into the stream.

VIII Not Bow Down to Bismarck.
BERLIN, January 22.-The Liberals oil
| the Second Berlin district met to-day for
the purpose Of deciding on their action in
the coming election for members of the
Reichstag. Three thousand electors
attended. It was resolved to support
Prof. Virchow against Gen. Won Moltke
as a candidate. Herr Ritcher, in a speech
advocating this policy, said he admitted
but conteaded that it was the duty OF
electors to provide that the military in
terest of the Empire should not be
strongly represented in the Reichstag.
but rather to elect to that
body those who could and would defend
the civil interest of the people. To the end
that there might be a proper equalization
OF civil and military claims put forth, the
views Of eminent civilians should be recog-
nized in opposition to the oneside military
view. when the Duke OF Wellington"
continued Herr Richter, utilized his mill
tary and his personal merits to override
the constitution of England, Engllshmen
declared that, though he had been victori-
GUS in Spain and at Waterloo, he should
not be victorious again against the people
~ofsEngland. In q like manner Gen. Won
Moltke, though he had been victorious over
Austria and over France, should not be
permitted to be victorious against the citi-
zens OF Berlin"
Litigation Over . Famous Lard Deal.
MILWAUKEE. January 22.-The famous
suit of Daniel Wells, Jr., against Peter Nc
Geoch, the we'll known s%peculator in wheat,
with whom he was associated in the disas-
trous lard deal in Chicago in 1883, was de-
cided by Judge Mann in the county court
this morning in favor Of McGeoch, the suit
being dismissed with costs. The suit grew
out OF the failure of the great lard deal.
Wells and McGeoch advanced $780, 900 to
settle the affairs of the firm Of McGeoch.
E%veringham & Co., OF Chicago, and imme-
diateIy thereafter Wells brought suit
against McGeoch, charging the latter with
securing through Misrepresentation his
(Wells) half of the amount paid in settle
ment. The Court decided that Wells was
fully informed Of the particulars Of the deal
and that therefore there vas no fraud, that
it was q lump" settlement, and that it
must stand in the absence of detailed &C.
counts by Wells. Furthermore, the Judge
says hat the dealings of the firm were
gambling contracts and a conspiracy
against public policy, and for that reason
the Court could not even entertain suit.
The court room was crowded and the de-
cision was received with a great deal OF in

Dime Novel Reading the Cause.

New YORK, January 22.-Inspector
Byrnes' detectives have solved the identity
OF the two White Plains murderers who
shot each other when cornered by a pursu-
ing crowd after their murder Of VIM. G.
Mead. They were supposed to be brothers.
Their names are o known to be John
Brisbane, II years old, and Thomas Bris-
bane, 10 years old. Both were dime novel
readers. They were not thieves by trade,
but come OF a good family OF No. $50
North Monroe street, this city. Both have
been engaged in a silver mandatory here.
and have not been seen since. The cause
OF their sudden criminal outburst is un.
known.
